PRIME Minister Datuk Seri Anwar must quickly deny the veracity of a damning report by finance blog, Finance Twitter, which claimed that newly minted International Trade and Industry Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz “has lobbied shamelessly for the powerful Finance Minister portfolio using his royal connection”, hence leaving him (Anwar) with no choice but to assume the powerful post himself.

“After losing in the 15th General Election (GE15), it’s incredible that he has still has the cheek to demand to be returned to the Finance Ministry through backdoor – Senatorship,” revealed the blog headlined “The Good, The Bad & The Ugly: From DAP’s Sacrifice to Zafrul’s Shameless Royal Lobbying for Finance Minister” dated Dec 4, 2022.

“This is the reason why Anwar, despite having said earlier that he would not consider holding the Finance Minister position had no choice but to take the portfolio himself. Besides Zafrul, UMNO also fought for it.”
